Intro: | [D] | [D] | [F#]/[C#] | [F#]/[C#] | [C#] | [C#] |

[F#]In Orient where wise I was to [G#]please the way I live.
Come [G#m7]give the beggar chance at hand his life is on his [F#]lip.
Three score a thousand times where [G#]once in Amazon.
Where [G#m7]El Dorado holds the key no keeper holds my [F#]hand.

[Bbm7] [Ebm] [F#]/[C#]
Unchain the gate of solitude, the ruler says you run.
[Ab]/[C] [D7] [F#]/[C#] [C#]
Run hard unto the scaffold high - your chance to - jump the gun.
[F#]Oh, how high the scaffold grows - the [C#7]plant life of your [F#]widow.
In black lace curtains brought you near from [C#7]out the plate glass [F#]window.
[F#]Oh, how high the scaffold grows - the [C#7]plant life of your [F#]widow.
In black lace curtains brought you near from [C#7]out the plate glass [F#]window.

[F#]The Minotaur with bloody hands is [G#] - enraged by the sun.
[G#m7]Caged he by the corpses brought forth by the [F#]dawn.
In Orient is as I told the b[G#]uckshee hangman swears.
For [G#m7]open crypts to silence nylon knots to sway by [F#]prayer.

{Repeat Chorus}

[F#]In Orient where wise I was to [G#]please the way I live.
Come [G#m7]give the beggar chance at hand - his life is on his [F#]lip.
